The Ikazuchi Mountain home, build in the range of mountains known as "The Dragons Teeth" these mountains have very rare and strong ore, such as Adamantine or Gemsteel. Here is where the Ikauzchi Clan makes their home. What started as one large mansion has grown to a small village of sorts. Many houses cut into the stone of the main mountain dot the peak.
To reach the village one has to walk it, literally. Sure there are short cuts with Jutsu however if one seeks an audience with the Elder, they must walk it. If the person in question does not trek up the mountain the hard way the current Elder, Kiyo Ikazuchi, sees them as weak willed and dishonorable. Quick to dismiss them regardless of what rank they may hold in whatever village, or even in a country themselves. However due to his age, even many Daimyo respect and revere the man, some even fearing him. Because of this and the neutrallity the Ikauzchi have always kept they have gained much influence int he worlds smithing market, usually having a clan smith in each of the major hub villages. Even having ties to the Hidden Ninja Villages with their trade bonds, the Ikazuchi are a well known and well revered clan all throughout the known world.
